I am a 36 year old male and fractured my tibia and fibula playing soccer 3 months ago (it was a clean break that did not penetrate the skin) . A titanium rod was inserted below the knee the full length of the tibia and held in place by a screw at either end. I was on crutches for 3 to 4 weeks and had an air cast for 3 to 4 weeks after that. For the last 4 to 5 weeks I have been walking almost normally although I still have a slight limp. I have always had a slight lump (bulge) on my leg where the break was but over the last few days it seems to be more noticeable. Is this normal and when will it disappear (if ever). I am not in any pain, it is just slightly sore sometimes after periods of activity.
